My experience was marked by a personable and knowledgeable waiter who graciously provided insightful suggestions. Opting for the chef's tasting, the standout recommendations were the exquisite mushroom toast and delectable duck. Culminating the meal with the apple tart proved to be an excellent choice, adding a sweet crescendo to the overall gastronomic affair. The combination of attentive service and noteworthy culinary selections rendered this dining experience notably enjoyable. My only gripe was the original seating location, next to the window on an extremely cold day. We were able to move to a table further from the window; however, I would have expected for the hosts not to seat guests next to the window on a cold evening to maintain customer comfort. I would recommend this restaurant for a group outing and date night.
Had a great dinner with a friend during restaurant week. Cozy atmosphere. The drinks were great. Mussels were delicious but the bread was a bit stale. The arugula salad with peach was so simple yet an amazing combo.
Tonight, I did a spin around the block to check out dinner at Twisted Tail and listen I was pleasantly surprised 🔥
Some of the best fried chicken and BBQ smoked ribs you can find in a restaurant right now in Philly -- y'all, I'm shook! ❤️
Definitely a vibe for the fall, and yes, that's a punch bowl for the table ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very loud upstairs but it was an enjoyable experience with the live jazz on Friday night. The food was exquisite and highly recommend the chefs menu where you get to try most of the dishes. The dessert was an apple crumble with in house made ice cream!
Great value for Restaurant Week in Philly Center City 2023! I came here with a friend and we left pretty full and satisfied! The meats were especially good as the short rib and steak were cooked and flavored very well. The wings and Crawfish macaroni and cheese were also highlights (and as someone who doesn't like seafood, I was pleasantly surprised with my enjoyment of the Crawfish Mac and cheese!)! One small disappointment I have is with the chorizo taco - the meat was a bit dry, and the sauce didn't help as much as I would've liked. Also, while the shishito peppers were good, we actually had too many which made it a bit difficult for me personally to get through the rest of the courses (I had to pack up my dessert because I was so full by the end! Other than these minor gripes, we were happy with the food, service, and overall atmosphere of Twisted Tail! There was even a live guartist who played towards the end of our stay which was a neat touch. Overall, I may come back to try some new dishes!
We enjoyed a Saturday jazz brunch and were so glad we went! The service was perfect - attentive but not smothering. The music was wonderful - spirited but no so loud that conversations were strained. The food was incredible! We started with steak tartar which was perfect. I am allergic to capers, so they remade the mustard sauce to accommodate my allergy - much appreciated! My husband’s biscuits & gravy topped with eggs was beautiful and tasty. My fried chicken and sweet potato steak fries were fantastic - some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had.
This Sunday I had dinner with a friend., at the Twisted Tail.
I’d been there before. We choose the tasting menu. Our choices included Caesar Salad , baby lamb chops, roasted Duck Short Ribs & a luscious dessert. Everything was cooked to perfection.
The service was excellent,
Even the live band & singer on key.
( Sorry couldn’t help myself )
I Highly recommend it.

Second time here and yet again a great time. Came for restaurant week with a fairly large party and it was a smooth dinner. The food and drinks are good! Get the drink flight for the full experience.
I stopped by on a Friday at Happy Hour. Friendly greeting at the door and beautiful atmosphere especially if you like seeing your music heroes adorning the walls in a dark dining atmosphere. I recommend going for the atmosphere and drinks and im coming back to see a live performance sometime.
The atmosphere was really nice, they played live music while we were there upstairs which we heard but did not physically see. The food was pretty good, it wasn’t seasoned enough to my palate, my husband got the fried chicken and I got the duck and both were lacking in seasonings. The Mac & cheese and cornbread are absolutely amazing!! Won’t go wrong with those. I also had a flight of bourbon, whiskey, and beer and that was fabulous! Would definitely recommend going there for the drinks!
We went for Dining in the dark. It was a fixed menu so I couldn't comment on the rest of the food. But we enjoyed ourself immensely . The dishes we had were creative and tasty. The wait staff was attentive.
Thank you for an amazing experience! Started with our bartender Mark, Guinness was awesomely poured! Super cold, fresh salad with our dinner. I got Mac and cheese on a Friday!!! And the steaks were amazing! Bonus, met the owner, as she came around to EVERY table to make sure her customers were happy!!!!
Been to Twisted Tail a few times and each visit has been fantastic. The bourbon and scotch menus in particular are very solid, with some inventive flights as well. The space is large and well decorated, with fun vibes throughout. Service is also fast and often makes great recommendations. Highly recommend!
Although a bit overpriced in my opinion, it’s definitely a fun experience to have at least once, and the meat menu had quite some exotic meats. Also fun to work with random people around you to guess the dish.
The food wasn't the greatest at the time I was there, but everything else about the place was great. The Mac 'n cheese was good. I hope to return and enjoy my whole meal for such a nice place.
Looking for music on a Sunday night? They have a sit in session on Sunday nights that's great. Always a different line up of people and instruments, but I'm always impressed. There also always seems to be a group of people from some dance class that are fun to watch too!
We were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. The beets were just incredible.
The crawfish mac and cheese while lacking many pieces of crawfish was very tasty. The pork dish with spinich spatzle was lovely and creative.
Loved getting the popcorn as an app.
Tables could be bigger. It got a bit awkward
At one point as the food is brought out when it is ready which loaded the small table.
Really liked this place. Great vibe in the bar with good beers and a nice, reasonably priced Whiskey selection. Went on 2 separate nights. Had the big cheese board both nights and duck and Arctic char for my entrees. All were excellent. Service was excellent too, but I deducted one star because 2 of my 20 person party got their food minutes before we had to leave and we were there well over an hour. To be fair, they prepare you for entrees coming out staggered and it was a huge, unannounced party. All in all, my new favorite place in Philly.
